Without it, you can't get the results in real-time

I meant can't

[drifting arrow]

Because "identifier" doesnt need choices.. I was using it to just update a global variable lol.

[naive briar]

You'd only be able to do it once the command is sent

[drifting arrow]

So then if I cant dynamically change the choices for a param I might as well as take a different route.

[naive briar]

You can if you just use the autocomplete 🤷

What's even a problem with it

If you don't need to return choices for it, then just return an empty list

[drifting arrow]

i think you're focusing on the wrong paramater..

which paramater do you think I am having an issue with?

[naive briar]

Identifier?

[drifting arrow]

No

[naive briar]

Then that's because you didn't specify it, how do you think I'd know

[drifting arrow]

I've been specifying it..

[spiral swan]

thanks

[drifting arrow]

Dont worry. I'll just retype everything.

I got two autocomplete functions for my code.
The first autocomplete functions job isn't to return anything, it's just to update a global variable and grab data from an API.
The second autocomplete functions job is to return the list of choices.

The list of choices changes based on what the first paramater was input as, the identifier. So if identifier is A, it grabs data based on A, if it's B it grabs data based on B. Etc.

I want the "serverbans" choices to dynamically change based on what the identifier is, and to do that I need the first autocomplete to run. It is currently running and setting the list correctly (To a list of choices).

The second autocomplete is not running correctly, it's not loading any of the choices, even when I set it to a basic static choice.

[naive briar]

I just told you to combine the two autocomplete decorators

!d discord.app_commands.autocomplete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.autocomplete

@discord.app_commands.autocomplete(**parameters)```
Associates the given parameters with the given autocomplete callback.

Autocomplete is only supported on types that have [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.11)"), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "(in Python v3.11)"), or [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "(in Python v3.11)") values.

[`Checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check "discord.app_commands.check") are supported, however they must be attached to the autocomplete callback in order to work. Checks attached to the command are ignored when invoking the autocomplete callback.

For more information, see the [`Command.autocomplete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command.autocomplete "discord.app_commands.Command.autocomplete") documentation.

Warning

The choices returned from this coroutine are suggestions. The user may ignore them and input their own value...

[north kiln]

why do you even need to autocomplete the first parameter

[wispy pewter]

Hi all!
Hope you can help me to figure out the best way to handle some OAuth redirects.
I want to "link" or "verify" the Discord account with another application (MyAnimeList) using OAuth, once a command is invoked, it gives the user an URL for the authorization that redirects to the application page, and once the user clicks "allow", the application has to redirect to another page with the authorization code, and here is where I'm stuck.
In a normal scenario I would create a Web application to handle that, but, is it possible to configure somehow the bot so that it receives the redirection with the auth code? Or what can I do in this scenario?
Thanks in advance.

[sonic vapor]

No matching recourse found

[sonic vapor]

Pls U tell that

[potent spear]

the link has multiple?

[sick birch]

I do believe aiohttp (the http library discord.py uses under the hood) has basic web server capabilities
It should be enough for the redirect page (since all you need to do is grab the code)

[sonic vapor]

No

[sonic vapor]

Online shopping apps

[wispy pewter]

Oh, I think that could help. Do you happen to have an example or the documentation for that?

[potent spear]

shopping apps? wdym?
the provided link has loads of python books

[sick birch]

[potent spear]

that's not really python related, more like SQL

[potent spear]

not all of them are paid

But they are coming in dollers am🇮🇳

[potent spear]

some are free...

[sonic vapor]

?

I will find

[wispy pewter]

Awesome, thanks!

[sonic vapor]

Can I use json rather than create database

[potent spear]

depends on what you're trying
in case you're writing a discord bot, please don't use json, json is not a database

[sonic vapor]

Why not json

[sonic vapor]

Ah so much English

[slate swan]

you can use a local DB file with aiosqlite or get a free MongoDB plan

[sonic vapor]

But I understand

[slate swan]

none of which cost money

[sonic vapor]

Oo

[potent spear]

scary

[sonic vapor]

I message here daily I ask questions daily but I can't create bot From 2 month 😥

[sonic vapor]

I need a patner for creating the bot where can I find?

[potent spear]

learn python basics first I'd say, because coding a bot is more something for intermediate programmers

[potent spear]

you can always ask around

[sonic vapor]

Hm

[slate swan]

blocked = ["1", "2", "-3", "4", "5", "discord.gg"]

How can i make it so you can do !changeblocked 4,5,6,7,8

Then it would charge the things in the array

[sonic vapor]

Where to learn basics

[potent spear]

change to what exactly?

[potent spear]

#discord-bots message

[sonic vapor]

Oo

I will try

[slate swan]

when you do !changeblocked <1,3,4,5,6> or whatever it changes blocked = ["1", "2", "-3", "4", "5"] the thing in bold

[potent spear]

do you want this to persist when the bot restarts?

if yes is your answer, you should consider using a database instead of just a variable to store this info

[slate swan]

example ?

[potent spear]

you update the bot
you restart it
all the info in blocked will be gone or "reset" to what you set it to first

but if you had a database, when the bot restarts, it will still have to blocked set to what you last changed it to
(thanks to a db)

[slate swan]

Couldnt i have a json file as a DB

[potent spear]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

I don't know how to use MongoDB is there a video on how to ?

[potent spear]

in short, you want to strive for best practice.
not something that "works"
you can eat soup with a fork, but is it made for that? no

[potent spear]

don't use video's, they are mostly outdated regarding dpy

how would u add permissions for app commands for server owners, or certain permissions for admins, mods?

[formal basin]

!d discord.Interaction.original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.original\_response

await original_response()```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Fetches the original interaction response message associated with the interaction.

If the interaction response was a newly created message (i.e. through [`InteractionResponse.send_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.send_message "discord.InteractionResponse.send_message") or [`InteractionResponse.defer()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.defer "discord.InteractionResponse.defer"), where `thinking` is `True`) then this returns the message that was sent using that response. Otherwise, this returns the message that triggered the interaction (i.e. through a component).

Repeated calls to this will return a cached value.

[fading linden]

is scraping not allowed?

hi guys, so i'm trynna host my bot on ovh but is it not possible if i'm not from uk? (still from EU)

you can claim a help channel; #❓｜how-to-get-help

[naive briar]

Why would it

[fading linden]

rule 5 was referred so idk

[naive briar]

Web scraping itself is legal, but you should read the website's ToS to make sure if they allow it or not

And maybe the website's robots.txt

yes

[slate swan]

did you try printing anything

for example printing error to see what error actually happens

in console?

[slate swan]

yeah

hmm just tried, it didnt print anything

idk why it is not being called

[slate swan]

so its not being called

other errors works just fine

what should I do?

show your command definition

[slate swan]

no other decorators?

[winter token]

nope

@command.haspermissions or something needed?

[slate swan]

well then no way the MissingPermissions wont throw since you dont check if user has this permissions

!d discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_permissions

@discord.ext.commands.has_permissions(**perms)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member has all of the permissions necessary.

Note that this check operates on the current channel permissions, not the guild wide permissions.

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under [`discord.Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions").

This check raises a special exception, [`MissingPermissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions "discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[winter token]

what about bot

[slate swan]

i dont think .purge itself throws it

!d discord.TextChannel.purge

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.purge

await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None, bulk=True, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate `check`. If a `check` is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") to delete messages even if they are your own. Having [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") is also needed to retrieve message history.

Changed in version 2.0: The `reason` keyword-only parameter was added.

Examples

Deleting bot’s messages...

[slate swan]

Raises
Forbidden – You do not have proper permissions to do the actions required.

HTTPException – Purging the messages failed.```

!d discord.ext.commands.bot_has_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.bot\_has\_permissions

@discord.ext.commands.bot_has_permissions(**perms)```
Similar to [`has_permissions()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_permissions "discord.ext.commands.has_permissions") except checks if the bot itself has the permissions listed.

This check raises a special exception, [`BotMissingPermissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BotMissingPermissions "discord.ext.commands.BotMissingPermissions") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

alright thanks

and also what do u prefer? making on_command_error or making seperate handlers for each cmd

[slate swan]

next time try to debug it a little
see if its being called
if it does what param values are etc

[slate swan]

i always used global error handler

i belive there are cases to use per command but i never needed that

discord.Client

class discord.Client(*, intents, **options)```

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

this code looks like some self bot stuff

[tidal folio]

I am watching courde on youtube.

He said and i did.

[thin raft]

it is literally the most basic bot

[slate swan]

message.client ?

[meager chasm]

Just make sure you know python basics before you watch any discord bot tutorial or you'll end up copying more than learning

[tidal folio]

Yes

[slate swan]

you sure this exists

[naive briar]

That explains why the code looks like that

[slate swan]

where did you get this odd attribute

[thin raft]

old discordpy code

[tidal folio]

https://youtu.be/SPTfmiYiuok

[naive briar]

Is the message.client even ever existed

[thin raft]

2 years ago

[naive briar]

Host free, huh

[slate swan]

maybe

[thin raft]

just stick to the docs it is well documented

this wont solve your problem tho

[slate swan]

you cant even rewrite from youtube video

learn python first man

[slate swan]

did you learn python already?

[thin raft]

you've been told to do so countless times

You can use YouTube for coding!?!?

[slate swan]

you can code in comments

I can watch this?

[slate swan]

well you can do anything but you wont learn python from it

nor how to make a discord bot

[gusty shard]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.messages = True```

try adding this to your code

[naive briar]

messages is already included in default()

[slate swan]

its message_content first of all

!d discord.Intents.default

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.default

classmethod default()```
A factory method that creates a [`Intents`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents "discord.Intents") with everything enabled except [`presences`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.presences "discord.Intents.presences"), [`members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members"), and [`message_content`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.message_content "discord.Intents.message_content").

[gusty shard]

also change the client part

[naive briar]

That's very vague

[gusty shard]

client = discord.Client(intents = intents,help_command=None)```

[slate swan]

commands.Client

[naive briar]

commands.Client?

[slate swan]

odd

[gusty shard]

client = discord.Client()

[naive briar]

Did you get this from YouTube, also?

[gusty shard]

mb sorry

i just woke up.

[slate swan]

me when style guides

[gusty shard]

change this @tidal folio

[slate swan]

PEP 8 cried

[gusty shard]

with this

[naive briar]

There's no help_command kwarg in that class

[slate swan]

yeah help_command is only for Bot since it supports prefixed commands

[gusty shard]

this removes the default help command ig

[slate swan]

so there are any you can list on help page

[gusty shard]

i aint a professional but im pretty sure this exists

[slate swan]

it does in commands.Bot yeah

This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

[slate swan]

for temporary voice channel generators. I only want to grab the lowest role with permissions to see/ join, talk etc.
I was looking to test it w/ a slash command for interactions to make new channels that way as well.

[thin raft]

lowest permissions would be a mess to check

[slate swan]

im guessing get a list, then check the hoist positions

based on the list of role id's

[thin raft]

you could loop through roles and check for discord.Role.position

and check the higher role position

[slate swan]

right cause the highest role has the least permissions

[thin raft]

not necessarily, the lowest role could have admin and the first one couldnt

[slate swan]

but that's for lowest... not highest... right?

[thin raft]

what do you mean by that

role position starts at 0 and ends at n

[proper thicket]

can someone please help me with this error i am getting i added a setup function and it still gives me problems

[slate swan]

ur setup function is indented.

[slate swan]

setup function is supposed to be in global scope not in the Cog

[proper thicket]

global scope?

[slate swan]

how are you going to create a cog in a method that needs a cog to be created

[proper thicket]

i already have cogs in all my other files

and it works perfectly

[slate swan]

show other files code then

[proper thicket]

the other files are not the problem

[slate swan]

i want you to see the difference

i know what the problem is

[slate swan]

I want the role w/ the least amount of permissions that are listed in the channels permissions. so like... roles that just see/talk/etc... if that channel has multiple roles w/ permissions to view it.. 0 would be like owner, bots, admins right?

[slate swan]

and do you see difference between those two functions

and where they are located?

[proper thicket]

the indenting?

and

[slate swan]

yeah

[slate swan]

wdym and its a difference if the functon is in the global scope and if its not

[proper thicket]

i typed and on accident

[buoyant quail]

Also i'd suggest to use the same indenting everywhere
Having 8 spaces in one place and 1 space in another hurts my eyes

Oh cause it doesnt read it

if u hover over it it also says it won't get called in vscode

setup function exists but in A class scope so it does not see that outside or without A class instance

[proper thicket]

Oh okay i understand now thank you and keira btw how can i do the thing you just did the '''py

[slate swan]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Formatting code on discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[slate swan]

especially read the bottom bold text

pastebins so useful

[proper thicket]

Alrighty thanks.

[proper thicket]

Yea i use to use them.

[naive briar]

What

[proper thicket]

Also dont think its only the indenting

still responding in a error

[proper thicket]

Can you help me if down is gone?

[buoyant quail]

Show your new code

Or maybe you didn't save it

[proper thicket]

me?

[buoyant quail]

0 can be anything you want. roles are not ordered by their permissions

[buoyant quail]

ye

[proper thicket]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class Moderation(commands.Cog):
    def init(self, client):
        self.client = client
        @commands.Cog.listener()
        async def on_Ready(self):
            print("Moderation.py is online.")

            @commands.command()
            @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
            async def clear(self, ctx, count: int):
                await ctx.channel.purge(limit=count)
                await ctx.send(f"(count) messag(s) have been deleted.")
                    
        async def setup(client):
            await client.add_cog(Moderation(client))```

[buoyant quail]

It's still inside the class

Even in the __init__

[proper thicket]

wdym

[slate swan]

unindent it all the way

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info

2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

I j wanted to know how I can get a channels role w/ least permissions. whether it's the current channel(voice) or if inserting the channel obj

[buoyant quail]

If you have a role with permission only to connect and one with permission only to talk, which you will choose and why?

Same question if there is a role that has only 1 permission admin and a role that has a lot of permissions but no admin

Anyways you'd loop over them and select the minimum by comparing them as you want

[naive briar]

!d max - or literally just this

[unkempt canyon]

max

max(iterable, *, key=None)``````py

max(iterable, *, default, key=None)``````py

max(arg1, arg2, *args, key=None)```
Return the largest item in an iterable or the largest of two or more arguments.

If one positional argument is provided, it should be an [iterable](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-iterable). The largest item in the iterable is returned. If two or more positional arguments are provided, the largest of the positional arguments is returned.

There are two optional keyword-only arguments. The *key* argument specifies a one-argument ordering function like that used for [`list.sort()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list.sort "list.sort"). The *default* argument specifies an object to return if the provided iterable is empty. If the iterable is empty and *default* is not provided, a [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "ValueError") is raised.

[slate swan]

to generate a temp channel that holds the permissions so when it's made it's not made for everyone and anyone, but only those with the lowest roles.
so if the channel makes a temp room for a valorant group, mods also have that permission to view the channel also.

[slate swan]

o.o i've never heard of this.

[naive briar]

!d min - or this if you want the lowest one

[unkempt canyon]

min

min(iterable, *, key=None)``````py

min(iterable, *, default, key=None)``````py

min(arg1, arg2, *args, key=None)```
Return the smallest item in an iterable or the smallest of two or more arguments.

If one positional argument is provided, it should be an [iterable](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-iterable). The smallest item in the iterable is returned. If two or more positional arguments are provided, the smallest of the positional arguments is returned.

There are two optional keyword-only arguments. The *key* argument specifies a one-argument ordering function like that used for [`list.sort()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list.sort "list.sort"). The *default* argument specifies an object to return if the provided iterable is empty. If the iterable is empty and *default* is not provided, a [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "ValueError") is raised.

[slate swan]

so i'd pass in the role positions to find the min/max?

[buoyant quail]

If you want to compare them by positions. As we said, role permissions don't depend on their position

[naive briar]

No, just the roles

discord.py can compare them by hierarchy

[slate swan]

oh it compares obj not just ints

[slate swan]

!d discord.Role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role

class discord.Role```
Represents a Discord role in a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild")...

[fringe lake]

whats the best choice for hosting a bot online?

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it or Heroku for continuous 24/7 bot hosting is strongly discouraged.
Instead, opt for a virtual private server (VPS) or use your own spare hardware if you'd rather not pay for hosting.

See our Discord Bot Hosting Guide on our website that compares many hosting providers, both free and paid.

You may also use #965291480992321536 to discuss different discord bot hosting options.

[fringe lake]

@turbid condor why using free hosting is bad

i dont thnk i can afford a vps, and my laptop will get destroyed if i used it for hosting ;-;

[formal basin]

how can i check if a user is timed out in the on_message event?

[turbid condor]

because in free hosting you are provided with a shared ip which means if the ip gets blocked then there goes your bot

[fringe lake]

wdym with shared ip

[turbid condor]

multiple users are using the same ip address

[fringe lake]

ooh

if the ip got blocked my bot will go offline ?

[turbid condor]

tho if u still want a free hosting u can check discloud.com i believe it has a free tier

[turbid condor]

ofc

[fringe lake]

but i can restart it right?

[turbid condor]

u can but then u will need a new vps

so yeah you might either buy a vps or can check out the www.discloud.com

[fringe lake]

is 100 enough ? 💀

[turbid condor]

depends on what you are doing with your bot

if its a small bot then this should be enough

[fringe lake]

like moderation and some utis ?

util*

[turbid condor]

then it should be ok

[fringe lake]

but what if used some apis or databases

[turbid condor]

again it depends on what the bot is doing

so u should try and see if it works or not

[fringe lake]

oh ok

thanks a lot for these informations

[formal basin]

how can i check if a user is timed out in the on_message event?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.is_timed_out

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.is\_timed\_out

is_timed_out()```
Returns whether this member is timed out.

New in version 2.0.

[naive briar]

!d discord.Member.is_timed_out just read the docs for once

[slate swan]

I didnt even know is there a util function but took me 20s to check

Docs are for a reason there

[molten skiff]

this code doesn't work ↓

    guild = interaction.guild
    receiver_member = guild.get_member(receiver_id.id)
    if receiver_member:
      await receiver_id.send(embed=embed)

how to check if receiver_id.id is member in guild or not & is he enabled Direct Messages in Privacy Settings or not

[slate swan]

I am assuming that adding code to a discord bot to kick members based on when they last posted is against discords ToS?

[formal basin]

can I make a message be sent once

cause its sending it twice

[naive briar]

What

[slate swan]

The prune method to get rid of ghost members, is just awful cause it only goes off whether they are active in discord itself or not, not the server. So I am wondering if creating a script to remove members that havent posted in 30days will be against ToS cause it will get rid of a lot.

[formal basin]

can I make a message be sent once
cause its sending it twice

[sick birch]

Probably not, I don't think

[slate swan]

Uhhh, don't know whether to risk or not :>

[naive briar]

Why would it be

[slate swan]

Could be seen as a form of nuking?

[naive briar]

Since Discord already has a kind of a similar thing (prune, like you said) built-in

[formal basin]

can I make a message be sent once
cause its sending it twice

[naive briar]

Stop repeating your question

[formal basin]

sorry

[buoyant quail]

If you send the message once, it will be send once.
If you send the message twice, it will be send twice.
discord.py doesn't send two messages instead of one for you.

[molten skiff]

save the details in database and check from it if the message sent before or not

[naive briar]

Is that sarcasm

Because it's so overkill that I can't tell

[molten skiff]

    guild = interaction.guild
    receiver_member = guild.get_member(receiver_id.id)
    # Send private message to receiver_id
    if receiver_member and receiver_member.guild_permissions.send_messages and receiver_member.bot == False:
            try:
                await receiver_member.send(embed=embed)
            except discord.Forbidden as e:
                print("\nFailed to send a direct message to the member.\n")
                print(f"Reason: {e}")

i tried this code and it doesn't work .
i'm trying to send private message only if receiver_id.id is member in the guild & receiver_id.id enabled Direct Messages in Privacy Settings
because when i run this code directly : await receiver_member.send(embed=embed) i get error The application did not respond if receiver_id.id not member / disabled Direct Messages in Privacy Settings

[slate swan]

How to solve a bot sending twice a same message:

Check why your bot sends messages twice, e.g. your bot is running twice by mistake

Store all the messages the bot sends in a database and double check every time before sending a new message

[buoyant quail]

Better:
use channel history before sending each message

[naive briar]

The send method shouldn't be raising that kind of error

Is it inside an app command and you didn't respond to its interaction?

[molten skiff]

this code is working without The application did not respond error

        try:
            await receiver_id.send(embed=embed)
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"An error occurred: {str(e)}")

#output
An error occurred: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50007): Cannot send messages to this user

[formal basin]

the users dms is off

[slate swan]

got it to work. ty :3

[molten skiff]

hey, i need example of message with link button to add it here

        try:
            await receiver_id.send(f"{interaction.user.mention} tried to send you points, but you haven't registered on our website yet. To register, visit the website from {site_link}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"An error occurred: {str(e)}")

ro

Okay thx

[fringe lake]

i heard that pycord is better for ui thank discord.py

isnt it forked from discord.py? how it could be better

[cloud dawn]

I wouldn't recommend py-cord.

I'd recommend discord.py or Hikari for more advanced Python programmers.

[ocean trench]

Hi, I'm working on making a discord bot, it's hosted on replit as a private bot, and today I got an error 429 message saying I'm making too many requests.

But that's really weird, I'm basically the only one using the bot and I do some testing but not more than like a few requests here and there, nothing major.

I'm not doing anything super special, not using any http requests or whatever, just bot commands and bot events. I do use reactions as a way to interact with my bot, and I did see there's something about emojis that's special but it's all very obscure to me.

I'm trying to figure out what's going, on. The doc mentions checking headers and stuff, but doesn't explain how to do it, so I'm a bit lost. I'm using discord.py and from what I've heard I shouldn't be worrying about those things with that library.

Is the logical deduction of all this that my token was compromised? How can I verify that? Who can I contact to understand why I've been locked out?

[sick birch]

You're not the only one using your replit

Replit isn't meant as a hosting platform so many many users can "share" the same machine

[cloud dawn]

Could be because Repl.it shares ip adresses so someone else could be doing it.

[ocean trench]

but it's a private replit

[sick birch]

Using replit as a host is not recommend BTW

[cloud dawn]

Doesn't affect the way how they virtualize their systems.

[sick birch]

That only controls the "visibility"

Someone else is still sharing the same machine as you

[ocean trench]

so does that mean my tokens are compromised, like those people can see my secret data?

[sick birch]

No your token shouldn't be compromised that way

But it can get your bot banned off Discord if it keeps happening

[ocean trench]

ok, so if replit is not recommended, where else could I host my bot?

[sick birch]

Platforms like AWS and GCP have free tiers that's good enough for Discord bots

Old machines are also great
I run all my bots on an old raspberry PI

[cloud dawn]

Everywhere that offers a dedicated IP to a VPS or container host like Azure.

[ocean trench]

ok I'll look into that then. I'm completely new to all this, I just wanted to make a bot and now I'm down the rabbithole 😄

[cloud dawn]

Basically, yeah.

[ocean trench]

@cloud dawn a quick search found me Heroku, is that one fine?

[north kiln]

no

[sick birch]

#965291480992321536 message see here for a list of options

[ocean trench]

Thanks a bunch, will look into it

[cloud dawn]

It's more advanced but yeah it's good.

[ocean trench]

what IDE would you recommend for coding?

[cloud dawn]

IDE is preference but the majority including myself uses vscode.

[slate swan]

spotted that raspberry pi immediately, have u ever tried running snekbox on it?

[sick birch]

have not - but that would be an interesting proposition

Just a docker container, after all

[slate swan]

haha

thats what i thought

here i am with about 6 hours of issues

[sick birch]

Why do you ask? Using Snekbox for one of your own projects by chance?

[slate swan]

yes, correct

[cloud dawn]

Can't you just run snexbox inside a container?

[sick birch]

Cool! We're selfhosting Snekbox for another project I'm involved in as well, it's pretty neat

[slate swan]

selfhosting, where?

[slate swan]

what do u mean, i tried running a docker container yeah

[sick birch]

Azure app service I believe

[slate swan]

and how much does it cost

[cloud dawn]

Azure is expensive.

[slate swan]

ive been trying to get it up and running on my raspberry pi, but it isnt working i've asked a couple minutes ago in #unix but eh

[cloud dawn]

But reliable

[sick birch]

Actually I'm not entirely sure it's on App Service
@feral timber can you confirm?

[slate swan]

wdym

can we move over to dms?

[cloud dawn]

One sec playing overwatch otherwise my team will kill me

[slate swan]

no worries

[cloud dawn]

@slate swan Meaning you need to give write permission to that process.

[slate swan]

right, and how would that work? how do i give it write permissions

[cloud dawn]

https://www.pluralsight.com/blog/it-ops/linux-file-permissions

[slate swan]

yeah but how, thats logs from the docker container

[hybrid minnow]

im not able to connect my discord bot to mongodb and im getting this error
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/tidasojexu

[cloud dawn]

You'd need to edit the dockerfile

[slate swan]

which part to be more specific

[cloud dawn]

You'd need to change the permission before the process starts.

[slate swan]

i really dont know what i need to edit, i havent got much experience with docker

[blissful sundial]

I am in need of small help here. I want to convert my google collab py file to discord bot output. I have already written the file

[cloud dawn]

I send an article.

[slate swan]

okay so somewhere in the dockerfile i need to do chmod 600 on that file

[slate swan]

wym output?
ain't it showing when you run in google collab

[cloud dawn]

Preferably everything inside the project just to make sure.

[slate swan]

so chmod 600 /?

[slate swan]

at the bottom i added RUN chmod 600 /
now i get:

[cloud dawn]

Go to that path and check if that file exists.

[slate swan]

Isn't that RUN chmod 600 .

i can try

[cloud dawn]

It's also a bit weird that there isn't a default amount of percentage it can use.

[slate swan]

where do u configure that then? in the snekbox.cfg?

[cloud dawn]

It's prob not in the cfg but it's trying to open a file there that didn't get created since by default docker containers cannot write.

[slate swan]

role_id is of type sqlite3.Row and it shouldn't be, instead of it actually being the role ID it's the entire row in your database - get the right column of that row

[cloud dawn]

Most likely that it's the key that you got.

[shrewd vapor]

I started having this error overnight.

def get_role_id(self, guild_id : int):
        cursor = self.con.cursor()
        query = "SELECT role_id FROM verif WHERE guild_id =?;"
        cursor.execute(query, (guild_id,))
        result = cursor.fetchone()
        cursor.close()
        return result```
I get role_id here

In the database it's arranged like this

[vocal snow]

fetchone() fetches one row

which is why result is an sqlite.Row object

[twilit grotto]

^

[shrewd vapor]

Oh

[vocal snow]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Row

[shrewd vapor]

If i remove result = cursor.fetchone() its good no ?

[slate swan]

wym
run by discord bot
Like its when you run your code in replit [discord bot] and there's going to be things getting displayed and it will work perfectly fine It don't mater on which IDE you on
Like it just runs
send a pic of the what's so called run by discord bot or mb your output in google collab

FYI ||{Don't use online IDEs when making discord bots, can be harmful sometimes}||

The definition of your guide id?

[buoyant crescent]

hi i'm trying to send an embed when someone type "!help" but it's keep telling me this error message : Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:/Users/MYOUSSEF/Desktop/bot/main.py", line 45, in <module> async def help(ctx): File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 1521, in decorator self.add_command(result) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\bot.py", line 246, in add_command super().add_command(command) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 1356, in add_command raise CommandRegistrationError(command.name) discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandRegistrationError: The command help is already an existing command or alias.

and this is my code : ```python
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix= '!',intents=discord.Intents.all())

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("The bot is now ready")
print("--------------------")
try:
synced = await client.tree.sync()
print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s)")
except Exception as e:
print(e)

@client.command()
async def help(ctx):
help = discord.Embed(title="Help", url="", description="Besoin d'aide ?", color=0x7434eb)
await ctx.send(help=help)
```

[shrewd vapor]

i don't understand

[buoyant quail]

discord.py already provides a default help command for your bot. (you can call help and see) you need to remove it to create yours (or better - subclass)
client.remove_command("help")
https://gist.github.com/InterStella0/b78488fb28cadf279dfd3164b9f0cf96

[slate swan]

first of all that's now how you send an embed I think so
you do

await ctx.send(embed=help)```

[buoyant quail]

!e what does get_role_id returns? It's at least a tuple, not just integer. Or sqlite3.Row in your case it seems

import sqlite3 
connection = sqlite3.connect('test')
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT 1")
print(cursor.fetchone())

Actually it was already answered

[unkempt canyon]

@buoyant quail :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

(1,)

Files with no extension can't be uploaded.

[slate swan]

and also change the command name to something that's not help like

async def helper(ctx)``` 
🤷‍♂️

[buoyant crescent]

it still give me the error

[slate swan]

^

[buoyant quail]

@buoyant crescent

[buoyant crescent]

ty it worked

[buoyant crescent]

ok i'm going to check that ty

[spring minnow]

Did you complete the definition of your bot

[slate swan]

To remove use help_command=None when creating your bot variable, and not remove_command()

is there a cap for the app_commands.autocomplete()
for how many items u can see at a time? if it's more than 7 it just gives me an error loading options failed in the slash command area

[buoyant quail]

Umm. What will be the difference?

[slate swan]

why create a command and remove it if you can just not create it

[buoyant quail]

You won't die from it

[slate swan]

!d discord.app_commands.Command.autocomplete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.Command.autocomplete

@autocomplete(name)```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as an autocomplete prompt for a parameter.

The coroutine callback must have 2 parameters, the [`Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction"), and the current value by the user (the string currently being typed by the user).

To get the values from other parameters that may be filled in, accessing [`Interaction.namespace`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.namespace "discord.Interaction.namespace") will give a [`Namespace`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Namespace "discord.app_commands.Namespace") object with those values.

Parent [`checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check "discord.app_commands.check") are ignored within an autocomplete. However, checks can be added to the autocomplete callback and the ones added will be called. If the checks fail for any reason then an empty list is sent as the interaction response.

The coroutine decorator **must** return a list of [`Choice`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Choice "discord.app_commands.Choice") objects. Only up to 25 objects are supported.

[slate swan]

docs are for a reason

[slate swan]

yeah you also wont die for creating 100 instances of empty classes but why

[stuck cosmos]

see when you move a channel but the channel has a reached the maximum limit would the error code that showed up be discord.errors.HTTPException:?

it doesnt specifically say on the docs

[slate swan]

about what action are you talking

• moving member between channels
• moving channel between (or outside) category
• none of above

@stuck cosmos ^

[stuck cosmos]

moving a channel to a different catergory

[slate swan]

and how can it fail

[stuck cosmos]

the limit of channels in a category is 50, i dont have 50 rn and i was wondering what the error code would be if you tried moving a channel to a different category

[slate swan]

there is such limit?

[stuck cosmos]

yeah

its 50

i presume the error would be httpexception but im not 100% surer

try:
B = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.channels, name="─── ◆ complete 1 ◆ ───")
await interaction.channel.edit(name=f"£{packamount}-{user.name}",reason=None, category=B)
await interaction.followup.send(f"Category Moved To {B} :)")
except discord.errors.HTTPException:
try:
C = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.channels, name="─── ◆ complete 2 ◆ ───")
await interaction.channel.edit(name=f"£{packamount}-{user.name}",reason=None, category=C)
await interaction.followup.send(f"Category Moved To {C} :)")
except discord.errors.HTTPException:

[slate swan]

well you wont know until you try

[stuck cosmos]

thats what ive got rn, but i wont know until the category hits 50 ig 😭

it doesnt specifically say on the docs

[slate swan]

parent_id?    ?snowflake    for guild channels: id of the parent category for a channel (each parent category can contain up to 50 channels), for threads: id of the text channel this thread was created
``` thats all the discord api docs say

i cant find anything else

and it does indeed say max is 50

[stuck cosmos]

yh ive had it hit 50 before so i was just tryna make sure it would move to the second category if the first one is full

[desert imp]

so my @bot.event action listener isn't listening to some channels in my server, any idea as to why? it'll react to the action in like 5 channels, regardless of permission, but not for any other channels

[potent spear]

!paste

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

? fix

[potent spear]

not discord bot related #❓｜how-to-get-help

[proper thicket]

hey can someone help me my purge command isnt working like at all
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

    def init(self, client):
        self.client = client
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_Ready(self):
        print("Moderation.py is online.")

    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    async def clear(self, ctx, count: int):
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=count)
        await ctx.send(f"(count) messag(s) have been deleted.")
            
async def setup(client):
    await client.add_cog(Moderation(client))```

[potent spear]

does any other testcommand in the cog work? (create one if necessary)

[proper thicket]

everything els works

[potent spear]

being what exactly?

[proper thicket]

my ping

8 ball discord app command

[potent spear]

is that in the same cog?

[proper thicket]

yes same cogs folder

[potent spear]

not the folder, the class

is that in the same class as your clear command?

[proper thicket]

yes

[potent spear]

what errors are you getting when trying to run the clear command?
none?

can you print something in the command to be sure it even executes in the first place?

[winter token]

why am i getting this

[sick birch]

Can you paste the entire file?

[winter token]

sure

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/azohonocet

[sick birch]

Can you also paste the mod cog?

[winter token]

alr

[winter token]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/pucegoqire

@sick birch main error is AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.commands.bot' has no attribute 'has_permissions'

how do i import it

[sick birch]

Delete that line

You don't need it since you already have it in the line above

[winter token]

which line

decorator one?

[sick birch]

The @commands.bot.has_permissions one

[winter token]

oh yea it should be bot_has_permssions

nvm thx, im dumb

[winter token]

well everything is fine now, its just the cog is not being loaded 💀

[desert imp]

It's just

@bot.event
async def on_reaction_add(reaction, user): # same for on reaction remove
    print('test')```

Not exact code because I'm on my phone rn but it's just basically the event listener and a test print

It's annoying because it doesn't pick it up in certain channels

[sick birch]

Add a print in the init to see if it prints or not

[desert imp]

It'll print in some and not others

Sorry robin, didn't mean to interrupt 😭

[winter token]

yes

[sick birch]

Nah you're fine, carry on

[sick birch]

That means either you don't have manage messages or the bot doesn't

Both have to be true

[winter token]

well the purge cmd is not being shown in help cnd either

and i have exceptions for missing perms so its not the case

[sick birch]

Is it a custom help command?

[winter token]

'nope

default

[sick birch]

Though it's printing so surely it's being loaded

[winter token]

yea

[slate swan]

Send, sleep, edit

Send message
Sleep x seconds
Edit message

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:

[desert imp]

Async.sleep?

[slate swan]

No, asyncio.sleep as the documentation says

[desert imp]

Oh nvm sorry my WiFi took too long to send that

[winter token]

@sick birch so is there anything I can do to fix it?

[slate swan]

No, like

x = await ctx.send(...)
await asyncio.sleep(...)
await x.edit(...)

Sometimes it's worth reading the documentation that was linked you know?

[hasty pike]

Okay it takes delay time in seconds as a int

[slate swan]

See, reading documentation isn't rocket science

[winter token]

can sm1 help me

[hasty pike]

What's the issue?

[winter token]

cog is loaded still cmds not showing in default help cmd and not working as well

code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/azohonocet
and cog code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ayojayirir

[hasty pike]

1st is for?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke # though it's probably better to have a common function you call in both commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

await invoke(command, /, *args, **kwargs)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Calls a command with the arguments given.

This is useful if you want to just call the callback that a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") holds internally.

Note

This does not handle converters, checks, cooldowns, pre-invoke, or after-invoke hooks in any matter. It calls the internal callback directly as-if it was a regular function.

You must take care in passing the proper arguments when using this function...

[winter token]

main code

[hasty pike]

Okay gotcha thanks for help

[hasty pike]

I would say for loop for cogs is worse practice

[winter token]

hm

[hasty pike]

Here's my setup

But it would be better for you if you just use cog's name instead of using loop

[winter token]

alright

[hasty pike]

Also cog should be loaded before bot logs in with token

[slate swan]

Not at all

[winter token]

[slate swan]

Loading cogs like you did is very fine

[winter token]

so whats the problems?

[slate swan]

What if instead of

asyncio.run(main())

you just do

asyncio.run(load())

[winter token]

same issue

shows this tho when i execute purge

[hasty pike]

await is not used while sending message

await context.send

[winter token]

yea but why also the help cmd is empty as i said earlier

[hasty pike]

It's not same code you have given us before

[winter token]

i just changed load function to main in main file

nothing more

import asyncio
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.all()

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '$', intents = intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await bot.change_presence(activity = discord.Game("$help"))

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    colour = discord.Colour.red()
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Missing Permissions!", description = f"{error}", colour = colour)
        ctx.send(embed = embed)
    elif isinstance(error, commands.BotMissingPermissions):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Bot Missing Permissions!", description = f"{error}", colour = colour)
        ctx.send(embed = embed)

async def main():
    for files in os.listdir("./cogs"):
        if files.endswith('.py'):
            await bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{files[:-3]}")
   
asyncio.run(main())
bot.run("token")

[slate swan]

Go ahead and await both the send, just like in your cog

[hasty pike]

await it and try

[winter token]

help cmd empty still

nvm

ty all

[slate swan]

what's max upload size for bots on discord?

https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#uploading-files

[iron pulsar]

hello help me pls #1123151889350008962

        description = f"**Kicked:** {member.mention}\n**Kicked by:** {ctx.author.mention}\n**Reason:** {reason}"
        embed = discord.Embed(title = "Kicked Successfully!", description = description, colour = self.colour)

            await ctx.send("Please mention a valid member to kick!")
        elif isinstance(error, commands.BadArgument):
            await ctx.send("Please mention a valid member to kick!")
        elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
            await ctx.send("Please mention a valid member to kick!")````

[slate swan]

can you print error.argument in your error handler

[slate swan]

ah its MissingRequiredArgument

then its error.param

also error comes from this that you are expecting a reason but you do not provide it

[winter token]

tried by providing as well

[slate swan]

why do you get random errors like BadArgument now

[slate swan]

did you change command you run

[winter token]

no

[slate swan]

it was MissingRequiredArgument before

[winter token]

nvm worked

just the mistake was i wrote reason: None

instead of =

[slate swan]

yeah i told you you are expecting reason but you do not provide it

[winter token]

yup

im doing dumb mistakes a lot today lol

[tribal sleet]

Hello how should I learn to make a bot?i kinda know some things but wanna start from start

[gusty shard]

if you know a little python you can make a discord bot, it's not that complicated

you can check the https://discord.com/developers and stuff

or you can just watch some youtube vids

[slate swan]

Usually not recommended since a lot of them are outdated and provide bad code imo

[gusty shard]

i started with youtube vids 2 years ago

its just for learning the basics

[slate swan]

Sure but it can lead to developing bad practices

i just want to ask for some advice when is it good to make messages ephemeral should i do moderation responses to commands like kick or ban ephemeral? just need to know when its good idea to use it

It’s good idea to use ephemeral messages when you want a message to only be seen by a specific person

[vocal snow]

I think transparency is essential for moderation, so I wouldn't make them ephemeral

[slate swan]

okay thank you

[hasty pike]

I passed it as argument because i wanted to try msg.delete but that wasn't the solution i was looking for

[tribal sleet]

well i mean i know to make a bot but Like how to code it and kinda understand function and things to add features

[naive briar]

Learn Python or look at the examples
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples

[hasty pike]

It's kind of like refresh function for beginning message

[naive briar]

And? What's your question

What do you mean go back

[rare vector]

I have an issue where only my old commands are showing but i have completely removed the file?

[vocal snow]

you need to sync after you remove them

[buoyant crescent]

Its avatar.url

[hasty pike]

Don't use url params if you want to leave it blank

hi i have a question how can i send image in an embed

not in the thumbnail

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

set_image(*, url)```
Sets the image for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[sharp whale]

check my thread

[hasty pike]

embed.set_image(url=)

[buoyant crescent]

ty

[buoyant crescent]

what's the *

[hasty pike]

You don't need to put that in code

[buoyant crescent]

ok

[hasty pike]

This is enough

embed = discord.Embed()
embed.set_image(url='link') 

@buoyant crescent this way

[buoyant crescent]

yes thank you it worked

[buoyant crescent]

how can i put an image that is in my folder ?

[buoyant quail]

[buoyant crescent]

thank you for your help !

[hasty pike]

You can put it on discord and copy attachment url 😂 (cheap tricks)

[hasty pike]

Yep you can

But practice is more important than just learning

[buoyant crescent]

yes i think i will do that because when the gif is in my folder it work fine the first time but after i got an error

What error

[hasty pike]

Show error

The method is keyword-only

what it mean ?

[naive briar]

It only accepts keyword arguments

Like

func(keyword=value)

[buoyant crescent]

oh i forgot the text=

[fallen imp]

sorry if I ask stupid ;-;

[vocal snow]

you cannot do bot.username because that attribute doesn't exist like the traceback says

check the docs of discord.ext.commands.Bot object to see what attributes it has

[formal basin]

its bot.user.name

[fallen imp]

ohhh

tks you guy

[buoyant crescent]

hi i want to make an embed that when someone join it shows his picture but i don't know how i can do that ```python
@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
channel = client.get_channel(1121386561150386276)
join = discord.Embed(title="Bienvenue dans le serveur de la Neo Destiny ! ", url=None, description=f":tada: Bienvenue {member} :tada:")
join.set_image(url='')

[slate swan]

member.avatar.url

[hasty pike]

join.set_image(url=member.avatar.url)

[slate swan]

What on earth are you doing

If you assign msg to the original response, then use that message variable to do whatever you want, e.g. editing

Passing a message variable in send_response is pointless

[hasty pike]

Just trying to figure out how do i get back original message 💀

[hasty pike]

How would i pass that variable into button class?

You mean like this

msg = await ctx.send(embed=vam, view=antinuke(author, guild))

[slate swan]

When i try to change the color nothing works? i don't know if i have to use a hex or

ive got more cosmetic questions, should i reply with an embed with just a description or should i reply with

text here
for a one line or maybe 2 lines reply thats lets say like a fact or something?

Hi Krypton

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

Colors are integers, not sure why you use to_dict and from_dict as well - why not just edit the attribute directly?

[tight mica]

You can use an integer or disscord.Color object, also why are you converting it to dict

bruh slow internet moment

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

Nah haven't got a reason tbf

[tight mica]

I was talking about myself

[slate swan]

https://tenor.com/view/britney-spears-uncomfortable-uncomfortable-smile-awkward-gif-16526570

[tight mica]

anyway, ```embed.title = ...
embed.color = ...

color could be 16711680, 0xff0000, discord.Color.red()(this also returns the same thing)

says it all

[tight mica]

wat

[slate swan]

idk what to do

[tight mica]

what are you doing?

[proper thicket]

so what am i post to put it as

But its a moderation command

[slate swan]

    embed.color = color

Just don't load the same cog twice

Problem solved

[tight mica]

the color variable is a string, it cant be used for embed color

[proper thicket]

wym same cog

[slate swan]

You load twice the same cog, don't do it

[proper thicket]

how did i load it twice?

[slate swan]

So what should i put instead? discord.Color?

[tight mica]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

You coded it, you tell me

[turbid condor]

Check your code

[tight mica]

what is the user inputting?

[slate swan]

$editembed channel msgid updatedmsg color

async def setup(client):
    await client.add_cog(Moderation(client))```

[slate swan]

Unrelated to loading cogs

[tight mica]

like what exactly is the user inputting as the color?

[turbid condor]

This doesn't explain the problem

[slate swan]

And for your eye's sake, remove those unnecessary empty lines in your code

[slate swan]

ohh, hex

[tight mica]

so something like #123456

[slate swan]

correct

[turbid condor]

Check if you have 2 moderation classes

[proper thicket]

i do one for purge

[slate swan]

skull

A cog contains multiple commands, it's not one command per cog

[turbid condor]

Welp that's the problum

[slate swan]

So don't have twice the same cog named "Moderation" and two different commands in diffferent files

Create one cog/file/class, put both your commands in there

[proper thicket]

got it thanks.

[tight mica]

as as the embed color can only be int, you need to convert the string from user input to int

color = color.replace("#", "") # removing the # part
color = int(color, base=16) # we use base=16 because its hexadecimal
embed.color = color```

[slate swan]

Or just

embed.color = int(color[1:7], base=16)

[tight mica]

not always sure that the input contains a #

[tight mica]

embed.color=int(color.replace('#',''),16)```

[slate swan]

Thanks, think that fixed it but now my title is getting an error

[tight mica]

what error

[slate swan]

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'title'

[tight mica]

dont convert embed to dict

embed = msg.embeds[0]
...
await msg.edit(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

where would i put ?

await msg.edit(embed=embed)

@client.command()
async def editembed(ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel, msg_id, title, color):
    msg = await channel.fetch_message(msg_id)
    embed = msg.embeds[0]
    embed.title = title
    color = color.replace("#", "") # removing the # part
    color = int(color, base=16) # we use base=16 because its hexadecimal
    embed.color = color
    await msg.edit(embed=discord.Embed.from_dict(embed))```

[tight mica]

think about it

am not spoonfeeding everything to you

[formal basin]

hm

what is count?

[proper thicket]

count messages that has been purged

[formal basin]

show me your code

[proper thicket]

from discord.ext import commands



class Moderation(commands.Cog):
    def init(self, client):
        self.client = client
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_Ready(self):
        print("Moderation.py is online.")

    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    async def purge(self, ctx, count: int):
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=count)
        await ctx.send(f"Purged {count} Messages.")
            


    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    async def kick(self, ctx, count: int):
          async def kick(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, modreason):
                await ctx.guild.kick(member)
   
   
                conf_embed = discord.Embed(title="Success!" , color=discord.Color.blue())
                conf_embed.add_field(name= "Kicked:" , value=f"{member.mention} has been kicked from the server by{ctx.author.mention},", inline=False )
                conf_embed.add_field(name="Reason:", value=modreason, inline=False)

                await ctx.send(embed=conf_embed)

            
async def setup(client):
    await client.add_cog(Moderation(client))```

[formal basin]

hm idk

your code is right

for me

[proper thicket]

this is crazy

[buoyant quail]

what is this lol

[formal basin]

how can I make a bot not send a message because of a message

[slate swan]

how come this part of my code doesn't set the embed description to something went wrong if i have an unhandled exception?

    elif isinstance(error, discord.ApplicationCommandInvokeError):
        if isinstance(error.original, discord.errors.Forbidden):
            embed.description = "error1"
    elif isinstance(error, discord.errors.NotFound):
        embed.description = "error2"
    elif isinstance(error, gdshortener.GDGenericError):
        embed.description = "error3"

    else:
        embed.description = "Something went wrong"```

[buoyant quail]

what

[buoyant quail]

Maybe you have ApplicationCommandInvokeError and it is not Forbidden

[formal basin]

how can i make a message be sent once only once like can I set that?

[buoyant quail]

I don't understand you

[formal basin]

like a message is being sent 3 times how can I stop that

[buoyant quail]

Don't send it 3 times ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[formal basin]

but its anti spam

[buoyant quail]

So you want to punish user that sent 3 messages very fast?

[formal basin]

no when they spam its times out them but my bot is sending 3 messages

[formal basin]

here

[slate swan]

oh no

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'adngoandog'
``` i get this error, maybe i need another else statement to add the description if that fails.

[buoyant quail]

You didn't finish previous runs for some reason maybe.
Check for unfinished processes and kill them (or just restart the pc)

[formal basin]

ok

[slate swan]

indeed i was right

[merry flint]

guys i am making a project computer in discord i want developers to help
Its discord bot

[meager chasm]

What part do you need help with? This isn't really a recruitment forum

[slate swan]

also when do u use discord.User and when discord.Member

[merry flint]

from email import message
import discord 
import random
from re import M
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '',)


@client.command()
async def Createaccount(ctx):
    await ctx.message.delete()

guys how do i make it like createaccount username password

[merry flint]

this

[meager chasm]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#parameters

Just add parameters to the command function

[merry flint]

oh thanks

[proper thicket]

await bot.change_presence(game=discord.Game(name="on " + str(len(bot.servers)) + " Servers.", type=0))```

is that correct for acivity status to see how much servers is in

game is not defined

!e @commands.command(name="unban")
@commands.guild_only()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def unban (self, ctx, userid):
user = discord.Object(id=userid)
await ctx.guild.unban(user)
conf_embed = discord.Embed(title="Success!" , color=discord.Color.blue())
conf_embed.add_field(name= "Unban:" , value=f"<@{userid}> has been unbanned from the server by {ctx.author.mention}.", inline=False )

[unkempt canyon]

[slate swan]

f strings exist

[proper thicket]

also can you help me with this ```py
@commands.command(name="unban")
@commands.guild_only()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def unban(self, ctx, userId):
user = discord.Object(id=userId)
await ctx.guild.unban(user)

    conf_embed=discord.Embed(title="Success!", color=discord.Color.blue())
    conf_embed.add_field(name="UnBanned:", value=f"<@{userId}> Has Been Unbanned From The Server By {ctx.author.mention}.", inline=False)

    await ctx.send(embed=conf_embed)```

[slate swan]

userId is not an integer

!d discord.Object.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Object.id

The ID of the object.

[proper thicket]

so what is it now

target_id?

[slate swan]

id=int(userId) my god

[proper thicket]

so put that

instead of userid

[slate swan]

[proper thicket]

Mb just asking

[buoyant crescent]

hi can someone help me, i'm trying to make a cog but it don't work

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os

from apikeys import *


client = commands.Bot(command_prefix= '!',intents=discord.Intents.all())

intents = discord.Intents.default()

intents.members = True

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.do_not_disturb, activity=discord.Streaming(name="Pokemon Unite", url="https://www.twitch.tv/mysterymom__"))
    print("The bot is now ready")
    print("--------------------")


initial_extensions = []

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        initial_extensions.append("cogs." + filename[:-3])

if __name__  == '__main__':
    for extension in initial_extensions:
        client.load_extension(extension)



client.run((BOTTOKEN))

and this is my cog : ```python
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class Greetings(commands.Cog):
def init(self, client):
self.client = client

@commands.command()
async def aide(self, ctx):
    help = discord.Embed(title="Liste des commandes :", url=None, description=None, color=0x7434EB)
    help.set_author( name="Menu Help du bot", url=None, icon_url="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1122145321535930499/1122145393032040519/20230624_142400_0000.png")
    help.add_field(name="Musiques :", value="!join | !play | !stop | !resume | !pause | !music", inline=False)
    help.add_field(name="Modération :", value="!ban | !kick", inline=False)
    help.set_image(url="https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1120608535672270939/1123258060983509124/pu.gif?width=747&height=312")
    help.set_footer(text="Demandé par : {}".format(ctx.author.display_name))
    await ctx.send(embed=help)


@commands.command()
async def music(self, ctx):
    await ctx.send("La liste des musiques : black_clover, black_rover, demon_slayer_3, night_dancer")


@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_member_join(member):
    channel = client.get_channel(1121386561150386276)
    join = discord.Embed(title="Bienvenue dans le serveur de la Neo Destiny ! ", url=None, description=f":tada: Bienvenue {member} :tada:", color=0x7434EB)
    join.set_image(url=member.avatar.url)
    join.set_footer(text=f"Nous sommes désormais : {member.guild.member_count}")
    await channel.send(embed=join)

def setup(client):
client.add_cog(Greetings(client))```

[proper thicket]

also its showing discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "unban" is not found

[proper thicket]

idk why u sending bigbrain for but aii

[buoyant crescent]

and when i run it tell me that they havn't found

[proper thicket]

async def load():
    for filename in os.listdir("./cogs"):
        if filename.endswith(".py"):
            cog_name = filename[:-3]
            await bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{cog_name}")
            print(f'Extension: {cog_name} succesfully loaded')```

[slate swan]

anyone mind explaining

[vocal snow]

discord.User represents a normal discord user, discord.Member represent a user inside a specific server (hence containing server-specific info and methods, like roles and nickname)

[buoyant crescent]

it says me python c:/Users/MYOUSSEF/Desktop/bot/main.py:30: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'BotBase.load_extension' was never awaited client.load_extension(extension)

[slate swan]

which means, i should use discord.Member for slash commands that have something to do with the members? or should i use discord.Member more or something

[proper thicket]

what is BotBase.load_Extension?

[vocal snow]

you need to await it like the error tells you

[slate swan]

You need to await client.load_extension(extension) as the error says

And stop naming your bot variable client

youtube tutorials moment

[proper thicket]

outdated

[vocal snow]

you need discord.Member if you need access to a server member and server specific data like roles, permissions, nickname, etc.
If you need generic user information (username, avatar, etc) need you can use a discord.User object

Users are a subset of Members

[slate swan]

but its still better to use discord.Member right?

[vocal snow]

there is no "better"

[potent spear]

"most appropriate"

[vocal snow]

it depends on what information you need to access or what endpoints you need to use

[potent spear]

a Member is used when you want also specific info about that User in a guild
if you don't care about that, you don't necessarily need a Member object

[slate swan]

so if i just want general info i dont need Member just User

[vocal snow]

yes

[slate swan]

but essentially it doesnt matter which one u use right? i mean if u use Member it doesnt make it slower or anything just provides u with more info?

[swift trench]

how do I invite my bot to my server?

[potent spear]

mhm, it's from cache anyways
but be as minimal as possible I'd say
don't get a member when you just need a user
or don't pass the whole ctx in a function when you only need the author for example

[vocal snow]

it's main implications are with intents

if you verify your bot in the future and cannot access member intents, core features of your bot may fail if they (unnecessarily) need Member

[slate swan]

wdym by that? can i see an example of the ctx?

[slate swan]

ah okay

[swift trench]

anyone know why I cant invite my bot

[slate swan]

Disable "Requires code grant" in the bot's settings in the developer portal

[potent spear]

I just mean that if you only need a certain attribute of an object in a function, don't pass the whole object as an argument, just only pass the needed attribute

this is more related to helper functions

[swift trench]

idk why its turned on

[slate swan]

right so then for moderation stuff yk kicking time out and such i just need user no?

[potent spear]

no, moderation is member related

[slate swan]

okay so i need discord.Member for that right

[potent spear]

sure... because you actually want to make sure there's a member with that ID in the guild...
I feel like you're overthinking this a bit

[slate swan]

i am

im really confused as well

okay i think i got it, so if i need to access stuff from a user i use discord.Member, and if i just need to get their id or something, i use discord.User, am i getting this right @potent spear

[potent spear]

sure, but in most cases, you'll be using the member object as you're trying to add roles or what not

[slate swan]

so take a permission check command, i only need to access the user id of a user, so ill use discord.User or their actual id

[potent spear]

nope
permissions are member related...
I mean, it makes sense doesn't it?

related to a guild => member
dm stuff, database stuff only => user

you're checking for their permissions in a guild...
just keep on using what you're using, in probably all your cases discord.Member is fine

you can always check what checks require what objects
but it doesn't make much difference if you were to typehint it to discord.User all of a sudden

[slate swan]

i meant like my own permissions from a db shouldve mentioned it

[potent spear]

yeah, but still, this is probably on a guild, so just keep using member objects

It's not like you'll be checking user permissions of other guilds in a command...

[slate swan]

but hows it related to a guild? If its just if its developer premium or normal user for commands?

[potent spear]

sure, if it's for all commands of a bot in any guild, then you can use the discord.User object

[slate swan]

yes, okay, thanks for helping

[potent spear]
